Love my .45/70.

I carry way too many. I always feel like there'll be a certain situation where I'll need this weapon, or this one, or that one.

Mostly use This Machine, Trail Carbine and Abilene Kid LE BB Gun.
Random small melee weapons and one or two unarmed.

Just like home?

(No bears this time around. I kind of miss the Yao Guai)

I carry too many weapons as well but my go to's in my current playthrough is the
Cowboy Repeater
Hunting Rifle
Hunting Revolver
Hunting Shotgun
Sniper Rifle
Heavy Incinerator

I like to keep it minimal usually just carry;

Modded varmant rifle
Cowboy raqeater
10mm pistol
Shovel

Keep the shovel around for obvious reasons other than that I only carry what I am going to use as I like to keep my carry weight realistic don't want to carry 50 guns you know?

I thought I had alot of guns. Can your guy really carry all this and some ammo for all of it????? If so do u carry anything else besides some stims and some drugs?????? Just wondering....

by hot key

1:Trail Carbine
3: Lever-action shotgun
4: Sequoia
5: 6x Dynamite
6: Chance's Knife

Trail carbine, plasma rifle, laser ECW, and hunting rifle with scope are my usual choices.

I vary from platythrough to playthrough. But my faves include:

* Cowboy Repeater. An early game must-have, it's cheap to shoot and easy to find.
* Spiked knuckles. My hideout of choice.
* Assault carbine. Load with AP ammo and point at Legionaire heads.
* Brush gun. Knocks down nearly anything with authority.
* 12.7mm SMG. Useless at a distance, but pure death up close. And you can silence it.
* Q-35 Modulator. The only energy weapon in the game that doesn't hog ammo. Load with Overcharge cells for the final battle.
* Ballistic fist - the ultimate up-close killing machine.

Depends on my character, but I almost always get these weapons:
All-American
Laser RCW
Lucky/Maria
Machete Gladius
Pushy or Love And Hate
Ratslayer
Annabelle/ Grenade Machinegun.
And always C-4!

Ratslayer and Brush gun.

Ratslayer has cheap, lightweight ammo, that can be found in abundance. Scoped and silenced makes it perfect for a few opening shots from distance (non-vats) and taking out most minor threats.

Brush Gun (plus Cowboy perk, plus hand loader rounds) for when something big and ugly rears its head.

I keep mysterious mag at home, and pull it out if I'm going somewhere that requires a holdout weapon.

Oh, and for non gun characters, most only carry 1-2 weapons

EW: Q-35 for a long time. Switched to fully modded holorifle after DLC. That guy has 100 speech, barter, science, med and lockpick (among others) so even if the weapon gets taken, he'll be fine. Pretty sure he could talk a Deathclaw out of a tbone

Melee: fire axe until I got oh baby. Then the Oh Baby! ( aka the crushinator) for life.

Unarmed: still in progress, went from brass knucks to bladed gauntlet. Using love and hate for now, should be upgrading to pushy or b.fist soon.

Haven't made an explosives only character yet... Maybe that'll be next.

Three of my four main characters use weapons: one Guns, one Guns/Unarmed, one Energy Weapons.

Bold is my most used weapon.

Guns:
Long Range Weapon(s): Anti-Materiel Rifle/fully modified Hunting Rifle
Medium Range: All-American
Short Range: Riot Shotgun
Sidearm: Maria

Guns/Unarmed:
Long Range weapons(s): Brush Gun/This Machine
Medium Range: Automatic Rifle (after DM) All-American (Before DM)
Short Range: Ballistic Fist
Sidearm: Ranger Sequoia

Energy Weapons:
(Pre-DM)
Long Range: YCS/186
Medium Range: Q-35/AER14 prototype
Short Range: Multiplas
Sidearm: Plasma Defender

I only carry two weapons at a time on my EW character, Plasma Defender and one of the above. The unused weapons are placed in ED-E's inventory.

Energy Weapons After DM:
Holorifle
Plasma Defender

Guns/EW: YCS/186, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Brush Gun, This Machine, Sniper Rifle (modded), Dinner Bell, Plasma Caster, Mysterious Magnum (holdout)
Guns/ Explosives: Same as above, but substitute the Plasma Caster and YCS for Mercy and Annabelle
Melee/Unarmed: Oh, Baby!, Ballistic Fist, Pushy, Knock-Knock, Power Fist (holdout)

I don't get why some people insist on a short or medium range weapon. I hope you realize that long range weapons work just fine in short range as well, ya?

I love shotguns as much as the next wastelander. There's a certain style and charm to filling some legion dog full of his own money... But when it comes down to pure stopping power (dmg per shot, dmg per AP, dmg per second, etc) shotguns are, at best, about the same as rifles. At worst, completely worthless.

Hunting Revolver, Flamer, Boxing Tape.

I usually carry: a Laser Rifle with all mods except the beam splitter, a fully modded Gatling Laser, YCS/186, a fully modded Cowboy Repeater, and whatever I've picked up on my travels. I have a character built around the Cowboy perk that carries the unique revolvers and all the lever action guns. My melee/unarmed character carries Pushy, Oh Baby!, a Shishkebab, and Knock Knock.

My all-around weapon is a scoped Trail Carbine. In addition, I'll carry a Hunting Shotgun and a silenced Sniper Rifle, as well at the Ratslayer (the night vision scope is handy if nothing else). For a pistol I usually take Lucky.

I'll carry other weapons depending on where I go. If I expect battles with really tough enemies I'll pick up the Brush Gun. For trips where I expect lots of Cazadors, I'll grab an Assault Carbine or a 10mm SMG.

I usually carry around a obscene amount of weapons with me, honestly just about as many as I can without be over encumbered. But as far as things I never go without once I get them:

All American
Fully modded hunting shotgun/ Dinner Bell
Ranger Sequoia
Lucky
Silenced 12.7mm pistol
Anti Material Rifle
Pulse gun (hey ya never know)
La Longue Carabine

here's what i always carry
maria
plasma rifle
multiplas
sniper rifle silenced
hunting rifle scope
ycs gauss rifle
all american

Oh Baby
10mm SMG wit mag and spread mods
Trail Carbine scoped.
Ratslayer

I run luck and criticals up for a nearly 100 crit chance with the Ratslayer.

I carry other things but they are mission dependent. Lost the BAR somewhere, hi ho.

I typically carry Maria, Assault Carbine, Hunting Rifle + Scope, and the Ratslayer, plus as much ammo as I can pile up on there.

It really depends on what type of enemy i'm going to fight.

For Powder gangers i would use something like the Varmint rifle or hunting rifle (with scope) and pick off a bunch of them . As a secondary i would either use Maria or the Hunting Pistol (with scope).
For Legions i will get somewhere high and take em out with a sniper and as a secondary i would use the 9mm machine gun .
And for Great Khans and robots i would use a Hunting shotgun and maria , if im pinned down i would use a fatman or cowboy repeater or annabell.
And for any creatures like deathclaws giant radscorpions or behemoths (found in snowy parts of new vegas and about the size of a large building ) Fatman of flamer OR maria which is really effective.
Super Mutants or boomers i would melee or sniper the buggers ! :toughninja:http://
